S. Govern ment," said the Florida gentleman as we passed in a little boat. The person to whom he was speaking asks if the Government puts their food in their nests for them, and the reply is, "Oh, no, there is plenty of food provided for them, but they have to go after it and find it for themselves. Look there, see that flock of hundreds of wild ducks; they are on their way now to the feeding grounds for their break fast, and you will see scores of them dashing down and snatching fish from the sea. Some birds have hollow bones and downy feathers and are able to float even in a stormy ocean and find food." Every living thing, man included, finds the earth and sea are each a granary and a storehouse, with abundance for every creature, but each living thing must go after the food and not wait for some other to put it in its nests. Man was made to be active and earn his food by the sweat of his brow, for his self-respect and health as well, and birds can be trained and 'made wise enough to conduct a postal service or to be purveyors of food to a discouraged man as in the case of Elijah, and man is enjoined to not disturb their nests where their little children are and fed by parent birds. It is a decree that there is plenty for all our needs, but we must use our own faculties to obtain supplies. immK Signed Nov. IS, 1919. Fine Bolivia and Evora Coats That Don't Need Furs.

(Third Floor, Cheitnut) Hi Fnitwe Stocks Are a Srarce of Wonder to NORMALLY, the assortments shown on these floors are not equaled by any two other large stocks combined. Now, however, the preponderance is more marked. It is so marked that there is nothing large enough or varied enough anywhere to come within compara tive distance of the collection of furniture that we are now showing. We point this out for the guidance of customers, not for our own glory. Large as this stock is, we would be glad to have a still larger one, especially as the goods are of the kind that any reputable store is always glad to own. Generally speaking, it is probably true that good furniture has never been so scarce as it is today. For that reason, if for no other, it is but right to let every body know that however scarce it may be in stores generally there is plenty of it here. Here on the floors are 150 different bedroom suits at $155 to $3000. These are suits of four to eight pieces. Of each suit we have in stock one to ten. The woods are mahogany, birch, oak, maple, gray enamel, ivoiy enamel, to say nothing of the decorated suits. We show 85 dining-room suits and back of them are one to eight of a kind. These are priced at $250 to $2380 for suits of four to ten pieces, in mahog any, walnut and oak; in Adam, Sheraton, Colonial, Louis XV, Louis XIV, Wil liam and Mary, Queen Anne and Chippendale. We have 140 overstuffed davenports that we can match up into three-piecet suits. The prices will range from $115 for a davenport to $2000 for a suit. This is believed to be the best grade in the world in materials, making and design; a very large proportion of it having been turned out in our own factory under our own eyes. In. addition to these three important groups, we have over 500 wicker pieces at $9 for a chair to $630 for a six-piece suit. And we have post beds in 50 different styles at $37 to $170. Any store can print figures such as these, but there is only one store in Phila delphia that can back them up. P. S. From the recent selling of living-room pieces at a reduction of 40 per cent we still have a limited number of upholstered chairs and rockers in chrome, birch and umber oak in William and Mary and Windsor styles at $15, $15.50, $23.50, $24 and $29.
